Wine in Maconnais

Pouilly-Fuissé is one of the most popular as well as most prestigious wines from southern Burgundy. This fine 2012, with its pale yellow color and emerald highlights is naturally unctuous due to the low yields of the vintage. There are beautiful white fruit aromas that mix very-well with fine almond notes. There are also Muscat-like aromatics that can be smelt and which linger in the mouth. A wine to be savored while young with lovely minerality and focused finish.

The wine shows bright white flower, apple and citrus aromas and bracing, fresh, clean fruit on the palate, with mineral notes. This is a classic expression of Chardonnay from this appellation. Pair this wine with poultry, shellfish, grilled firm-fleshed fish such as swordfish, and salads.

The nose explodes with aromas of citrus, peach and apricot followed by a wonderful balance between acidity and sweetness with a marked freshness. The structure and slightly spicy flavor of Les Charmes makes it unique among Mâconnais wines. The wine is still veryaromatic and very fresh after the ageing.

Redolent of peach, apricot, redcurrant and white blossom aromas with a touch of lemon. Full-bodied on the palate with good depth and lovely length.

With a medium body, bright acidity, peach and banana aromas, and a savoury finish plus some well-judged oak, this was seen as well balanced and good value. Clear Burgundy character.

Our Pouilly-Fuissé 'Terres de Fuisse' is a blending of two small plots of old vines, one on the East-facing slope of the village of Fuissé, the other on the plateau of white marl (type of limestone) characteristic of the lower part of the village. A bottle that may be savoured now but which will take some years before it fully blooms into a rich and mineral Fuissé.

The perfect introduction to Gilles Morat’s precision-winemaking is his basic Pouilly Fuissé AOC “Terroirs de Vergisson.” Vergisson’s vineyards are located on steep, amphitheater slopes between the famed rocks of Vergisson and Solutré, and are recognized as the appellation’s finest. Morat selects 100% Chardonnay grapes from several of his hillside Vergisson sites at 300-350 meters of altitude, each with different soils, for his first-level Pouilly Fuissé. For this cuvee, Morat ferments and ages the wine in 60% stainless steel tanks and 40% barrels, which are between 4 and 8 years old and hence, do not impart oaky flavors. Morat’s goal is to produce a wine that shows the intensity and purity characteristic of outstanding vineyards and winemaking, but which is also very accessible upon release for its expressive and vivid fruit. The wine captures the unique character of its Vergisson terroir: pure and fresh, green apple, citrus and peach flavors with a soft minerality, imparting finesse and length.

Pale yellow color with hints of green. You get on the nose a touch of oak, lots of finesse and minerality with white flowers, lemon and apple scents. On the mouth, the wine is fresh, round and fruity with aromas of melon, kiwi, peaches and apricot and a nice minerality. Overall, the wine is nicely balanced and fresh with a great length. Cuvée Marie Antoinette is a tribute to Jean Jacques (JJ) Vincent’s mother, Marie-Antoinette Vincent. The wine is sourced from several parcels including young vines from the Château Fuissé vineyards of Le Clos, Les Brûlés and Les Combettes as well as several non-domaine yet family owned parcels throughout the appellation. About the Winery: J.J. Vincent produces a range of wines made with the same care and expertise as those made at the Vincent’s historic domaine, Château Fuissé. Made primarily from grapes sourced from Mâconnais vineyards in the South of Burgundy that are owned by members of Jean-Jacques Vincent’s family, these wines are of extremely high quality and represent remarkable value. Maison J.J. Vincent wines are both lovely and approachable wines for immediate consumption and a great introduction to the Château Fuissé range of acclaimed wines. Critical Acclaim: 2018: 91 points Burghound "There is a touch of petrol to the essence of pear, apple and white flower aromas that exhibit a top note of grapefruit. The racy and tension-filled medium weight flavors possess fine depth on the refreshing and bitter lemon-inflected finish that is attractively dry if ever-so-mildly warm finale." Burghound

In the heart of the Macon winegrowing region, South of Burgundy. The two villages Vire and Clesse form a unique ”terroir” on slopes facing South-East. In Vire, the soil is chalky with large layers of clay. In Clesse , the soil structure is slightly different with a combination of chalk and clay mixed with liasic marls combined with oyster- fossils which convey to the wine a specific minerality.This is one of the best white wines of the region combining suppleness and minerality.
